A giant mural created by visual artist SOFIA MALDONADO is now on display on 42nd Street, between Broadway and 8th Avenue. Maldonado's colorful work features a cast of Afro-Caribbean Latinas from Harlem, Brooklyn and other boroughs that "tourists and even many New Yorkers don't really go to." The mural depicts Latin women fighting to get ahead. Born to a Cuban mother and a Puerto Rican father, Maldonado moved to New York 4 years ago to pursue a master's degree at Pratt Institute.
